About this position

This research fellowship at RMIT University is based in the School of Science and sits within a broader collaborative research environment spanning the School and Research Institutes. The role is centred on ecological modelling, biodiversity and restoration modelling, and hydrological modelling, with a particular emphasis on producing research that contributes to national impact and recognition.

The successful researcher will plan and deliver independent and team-based research, help design and undertake research projects, and build productive research networks across RMIT as well as with local and national partners. The position also involves contributing to high-quality research outputs and strengthening research capacity through internal and external partnerships. It is aimed at someone who can move comfortably between independent research and collaboration, supporting research excellence and innovation within the School.

Experience in coastal wetlands is preferred, but the role also welcomes expertise in other natural ecosystems. The advert highlights an environment that values multidisciplinary collaboration, industry and government links, and the development of new research initiatives alongside existing Discipline and School priorities. The contact named for role-related questions is Dr. Stacey Trevathan-Tackett.
